Dedicated to the Texas division of service in the v ar, the 1918 annual featured pictures of Foresters v ho v ere fighting for democracy. In charge of this publication were Bertrond M. Sarazan, editor, and William H. Potts, business manager. Miss Louise Wilcox directed the musical production, The Chimes of Normandy, which, from the write-up it received, is judged to be an excellent piece of work. Queen of the Minstrel was Margaret Williams. A vast improvement in the orchestra was accredited to Mr. Alexander. He recruited new players and promoted such an interest in the orchestra that it was noticeably better in even a short time. Forest was also the wearer of the cager ' s crown. For what it lacked in length, the ' 19 Forester made up in comparative thickness. With William Hixon, Jr., as editor and Lester Lorch as business manager, the Forester was dedicated as a whole to Charles Cain. However, Mr. Gray Moore received the dedica- tion from the Athletic section and Miss . ary Belle Smith for the Physical Training Book. The class of January ' 20 told their history in the form of an outline under the title The Jantwenty War. No doubt to their utter em- barrassment, the Seniors had a section in which they were seen as they were in their ' childhood ' days. The oldest of our present clubs was organized under the leadership of Miss Myra Brown — The Standard Debating Society. Ministrel Queen for 1918 was Clara Richards. With a total of 197 pages, the For- ester of ' 20 established a record for quantity and kept up the Forest tradi- tion of quality. Edited by Lewis Plun- ketf and managed by Melvin Moore, the publication was dedicated to Gray Moore. The Moores were quite promi- nent in the class of twenty. Melvin Moore was also elected Vice-President of the graduating class. The Forest cagers won the State championship in basketball. Much of this success was due to the captain, I. Martin. The second of our present-day clubs was organized — the Audi- tores Caesaris. The Alumni were featured in the 1920 Forester — every graduate ' s name was in a special section of the annual.

A(llnu nld uitM4i. A new school, a new faculty, new students — and a brand new brain-child was originated, the Foresier Annual. Sponsored by Miss Edna Rowe and E. B. Comstock, the annual was the climax of a year of beginnings. Eight clubs were organized, athletic teams were formed, and on February 16, 1917, the school held open house to announce its formal opening to the public. Edited by Charles Gates, this issue of ' 1 7 was dedicated to E. B. Cauthorn in respect- ful recognition of the success of his efforts to set a high standard of excellency in Forest Ave- nue High School during its first year. K iilkst i ' ( rACULTY
